Arshavin believes Russia's 3-0 friendly win over Italy gives them the edge vs Czech Republic tonight
Russia, coached by veteran Dutchman Dick Advocaat, are in buoyant mood ahead of their opening Group A match against Czech Republic here tonight, after a morale-boosting friendly victory last Friday.
Advocaat’s side produced a vibrant attacking display to thump an out-of-sorts Italy 3-0 in Zurich leading expectations to flower in some quarters.
